Yup, the D407/408 combo is a premium set of tires. I usually get about 11 or 12K out of my Dunnys.
My newer FXDL is on Michys now, so we'll see how that goes. Hoping I get at least 10K outa the rear.

I got a new Dunlop American Elite rear tire last summer. I have 11K on it and it still looks great. My OEM dulpop front tire now has 22k and is close to needing replaced. Maybe another 1-2k more. I am going to try and American Elite on the front as well next tire change

Tisk tisk. You still haven't discovered the art of a good rolling burnout...

Haha, well when your 350lbs, it doesn't work. I need a drag bike for that.
